问题:

I am trying to build boost 1.63 with the lastest msvc 14.1 and VS2017 RC. So I did everything I do normally, I opened the Development Cmd and then I run the bootstrap.bat and run the command

b2 -link=static -threading=multi

For some reason I got those errors :

E:/Coding/SDKs/boost_1_63_0/tools/build/src/tools\msvc.jam:834: in generate-setup-cmd *** argument error * rule maybe-rewrite-setup ( toolset : setup-script : setup-options : version : rewrite-setup ? ) * called with: ( msvc :  :  : default :  ) * missing argument setup-script E:/Coding/SDKs/boost_1_63_0/tools/build/src/tools\msvc.jam:746:see definition of rule 'maybe-rewrite-setup' being called E:/Coding/SDKs/boost_1_63_0/tools/build/src/tools\msvc.jam:1076: in configure-really E:/Coding/SDKs/boost_1_63_0/tools/build/src/tools\msvc.jam:201: in configure E:/Coding/SDKs/boost_1_63_0/tools/build/src/tools\msvc.jam:153: in msvc.init E:/Coding/SDKs/boost_1_63_0/tools/build/src/build\toolset.jam:43: in toolset.using E:/Coding/SDKs/boost_1_63_0/tools/build/src/build\project.jam:1052: in using project-config.jam:3: in modules.load E:/Coding/SDKs/boost_1_63_0/tools/build/src\build-system.jam:249: in load-config E:/Coding/SDKs/boost_1_63_0/tools/build/src\build-system.jam:412: in load-configuration-files E:/Coding/SDKs/boost_1_63_0/tools/build/src\build-system.jam:524: in load E:\Coding\SDKs\boost_1_63_0\tools\build\src/kernel\modules.jam:295: in import E:\Coding\SDKs\boost_1_63_0\tools\build\src/kernel/bootstrap.jam:139: in boost-build E:\Coding\SDKs\boost_1_63_0\boost-build.jam:17: in module scope

I am not familar with boost so maybe one of you could give me a hint

Based on KindDragons and CPlusPlus OOA and D answers I compiled Boost 1.63. For 64bit. Run "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017" command prompt:

1) Run: bootstrap.bat

2) open project-config.jam. Here is mine:

import option ;   using msvc : 14.0 : "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.10.25017\bin\HostX64\x64\cl.exe";   option.set keep-going : false ;

The part: 14.10.25017 keep changing with updates to your Windows SDK. So update it accordingly.

3) Run b2 toolset=msvc-14.0 address-model=64

Boost 1.63 doesn't fully support VS2017, but you can trick it to find VC++2017 compiler:

Run bootstrap.bat in boost directory
Update the project-config.jam to include: using msvc : 14.0 : . Should be something like "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.10.24911\bin\HostX64\x64\cl.exe"
Run "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017 RC" from Windows Start Menu to boostrap from a shell configured using the x86 vcvars or x64 vcvars.
Run b2 toolset=msvc-14.0 in that command prompt. For the x64 build, add address-model=64 to the b2 command line.

UPDATE: Boost 1.64 should support VS2017

Run "x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017" or "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017" from Start Menu, than inside command prompt run b2:

32-bit: b2 toolset=msvc-14.1 --build-dir=.x86 --stagedir=stage_x86

64-bit: b2 toolset=msvc-14.1 address-model=64 --build-dir=.x64 --stagedir=stage_x64

Add link=shared to build shared libraries

I've created a batch script which builds both 32 and 64 bits binaries in the following github repo: https://github.com/manuelgustavo/boost_build

The secret lies in using Visual Studio 2017's Developer Command Prompt. It sets all environment variables as needed.

Then from it, you can execute something like:

for 32 bit...

b2.exe --toolset=msvc-14.0 architecture=x86 address-model=32 --stagedir=".\stage32" threading=multi --build-type=complete stage

or for 64 bit...

b2.exe --toolset=msvc-14.0 architecture=x86 address-model=64 --stagedir=".\stage64" threading=multi --build-type=complete stage

Or if you prefer, just go to https://github.com/manuelgustavo/boost_build and follow the steps from there.
